Hi all,

I’m trying to get Graylog up and running using docker compose. I’ve started with a basic config here which works fine:  
[https://docs.graylog.org/en/4.0/pages/installation/docker.html](https://docs.graylog.org/en/4.0/pages/installation/docker.html)

When I try and setup persistent data, I’m running into issues. I’ve created a directory here for all the graylog data on my Unraid system “/mnt/user/graylog/”

From there I’ve added the following items to my docker compose:  
volumes:  
- /mnt/user/graylog/mongo\_data:/data/db  
volumes:  
- /mnt/user/graylog/es\_data:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data  
volumes:  
- /mnt/user/graylog/graylog\_data:/usr/share/graylog/data

The mongo and elasticsearch volumes are working fine. When I add the graylog volume I get the following error:  
“Couldn’t load configuration: Properties file /usr/share/graylog/data/config/graylog.conf doesn’t exist”

After some reading it looks like something to do with UID/GID but I can’t seem to figure it out. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
